Skip the injections. I've had many of them including the nerve stimulation treatment. I was diagnosed with hypertonic pelvic floor dysfunction years ago. It affected my bladder in a way that I couldn't urinate without pushing up on the area. That's when I had a Tens Unit surgically placed in my lower back. My body rejected it and I had to have it removed due to a staph infection at the surgical sight. Please don't let these physicians use you as an experiment! Massage does work for me on my lower back and lots if medication, Baclofen, Cymbalta and narcotics.

I have had pudendal nerve entrapment for 6 years. The first 3 were not that bad although an enough to send me to my on/gyn on multiple appointments and was told nothing was wrong. He actually went as far as telling me I should talk to my pastor. We needless to say I didn’t go back. In the first 3 years I tolerable. My family doctor concluded it was nerve and put me on several medications. Finally I was sent to a urogyn and was diagnosed. In the last 3 years I have had nerve blocks and ablation on the nerve. When that did not work I was sent to Franklin TN. I I had injections 3 times 90 days apart. I actually think I am worse. I have not had a pain free day in 3 years. OST days it is extremely bad. My doctor wants me to try one more injection just to see if it will help. He says I do not want to have entrapment surgery. Anyone reading this have any of you had the surgery. Can you tell me why he feels that way. I am so tired of pain.
